Manager Willis reported the appraisal the City obtained or the
land in 1978 was $325.000 and Belgarde's appraisal at thct time
was around $375,000. Council discussed the alternative or a:quiring
only that portion of the land needed for bridge construction i•v
condemnation and %.hat the limits of exposure would be for bridce
construction costs if it is delayed until June. The Council ind-l-
cated that any added construction costs caused by the delay in con-
stru ting the beidge should not be excessive, and that it was better
to face that exposure rather than binding condemnation, Council -
member Neils inquired what the cost of the pend.ng assessments
totalled and what the total cost would Le for sewer and bridge easements.
